That's spoo four sixty seven one ninety one seven two
Personal injury trial or your little money Scott, We're serious
about writing for you. That's for four sixty seven one
(30:29):
nine one sevent.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
My god, oh no, she didn't, Oh no, she didn't.
Oh oh no, this.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Journey well, welcome back on com Back to spirits levelies,
my estimates, own g moment is upon us. It's going
to Antonio Brown, who was haulted an eighty thousand fundraiser
after Georgia father was charged with abandoning his kids. Now, listen, guys,
(31:11):
this is a serious copy. But you know, I just
want to kind of stay in the loop of what's
going on, and I want to get your opinions and
your thoughts and just let us know how you feel
about it now. Former NFL star Antonio Brown he had
offered or his offering refunds to donors after raising eighty
thousand dollars through a GoFundMe campaign intended to support Chris Lewis,
(31:35):
a Georgia father who was arrested for leaving his three
children ten, six and one an attended at McDonald's. The
Richmond County Sheriff's office, which is located in Augusta, Georgia,
reported that Lewis Fossilly, claimed he was attending a job
interview when he left his kids at the restaurant play
area on March twenty second. His ten year old daughter
(31:57):
told police he said that he's returning shortly, leaving her
in charge of her siblings. She later called their mother,
who arrived at the scene and contacted Lewis. You showed
up minutes later with the same backpack he left with,
claiming he had gone to a nearby hotel or an interview,
through hotel staff confirmed no interviews were scheduled. Now here's
(32:18):
the thing. You know, at first, I was feeling really sorry.
I was like, oh my goodness, this is so sad,
because again I'm a mom, and I understand, you know,
sometimes things happen and you want to, you know, go
to these job interviews or you can't find a babysitter
and whatever the calls may be. So I kind of,
you know, ad that double sided sword view, right, So
I kind of saw where this could be a problematic
(32:41):
first off, and second of all, I can also see
where you know, you can't do that. You know, this
world is so crazy, you know, kids be snatched up,
kids walking listen. Either way, it was a dangerous situation
to be in, very poor choice. Unfortunately, you know, it
led to or fortunately however we want to look at it,
whatever angle you want to look at it at. The
(33:04):
father was arrested. He was arrested for basically abandoning his children.
Yeah again, I did in a moment of you know, look,
you know he's a man, he's a father trying to
do right by his children. But it seems like this
story may not be as what we thought it was.
To hear that Antonio Brown was going to give you know,
(33:25):
some money for go find me was major. Okay, We've
had and we spoke about so many negative stories about
Antonio Brown. You know, I don't even want to start.
So go back now archives, go back and re listen
to what we had to say about Antonio Brown. But
in this time said I was like, okay, okay, okay,
I see where he's going. Although you know, from public opinion,
(33:46):
he received many, many, many negative comments like look, how
is he gonna raise money? Already struggling with his money coins,
blah blah blah. Look, we're not even going to get
into that because this is another neither here or there.
That's not a story are focusing on right now. We
wanted to focus on the positivity. So to hear and
see that Antonio has halted funds, yeah, I think that
(34:10):
was the best, you know, and I think to see
Antonio kind of take the initiative to try to help
a situation that seemed like, you know what, it could
have been anyone. You know, it could happen. You know,
things like that happened. But if it's not what as reported,
then yeah, this is my essmh you know what I'm saying.
(34:31):
I'm sitting here shaking my head like this is crazy.
How we need more information? But again, Lewis was a restident.
He was charged with the Mistermeter child endangerment. Brown, along
with other athletes, had initially supported the Lewis family through fundraising. However, again,
(34:51):
following the rest and questionable circumstances surrounding the incident, Brown
disabled to go fund me page and announced that the
donations will remain on hold. He is offering refunds to
those who contributed, and stated that the money will not
be released until he can ensure it will be used
for a worthy cause. Now what worthy cause? Again, we
(35:12):
don't know, you know, story still you know, pending. We
still wanting to know what this? What does that mean?
You know, I don't know. We shall see. But like
I said, guys, look, I can't be mad at Antonio
Brown for doing or trying to do the right thing,
because we've spoken so many stories that it just it
(35:32):
just would laugh. It just went left, all the way
off off the tracks, right, It's just gone. But to
see him try to help a situation where we thought
could be a situation that really could you know, benefit
a family and need. Look, I'm not mad at him,
I'm not mad at him at all. So yeah, this
(35:55):

creator and president of Full Circle Hope Sports Slacklease. Please
welcome doctor Tanika Long too. Chicks in a Sports Got along? Welcome,
(37:19):
Welcome to Chicks in a Sports. Can you please just
tell us about just your inspiration behind the Full Circle
of h Ope Hope Gyala and how it all started?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Awesome Well, Nicky, The idea for this organization was actually
inspired by the great need that was obvious in the
town of Barnesville, Georgia. Approximately fifteen percent of the people
that live there live in poverty, and the household income
is directly proportional to the education level achieved by the parents.
(37:54):
My vision and the vision of the Full Circle of
Hopes Board was to bridge that gap and to attempt
to prevent like the vicious cycle of struggle and generation
at the generation of poverty from becoming a reality for
the kids that we could impact. I personally grew up
under those circumstances with several strikes against me according to
(38:16):
society standards, but which in reality only served to be
a source of strength for me. Like I'm an African
American female. I was born to a single teenage mom
in a small town in southern Georgia, and we lived
in the projects when we were there too. But only
by the grace of God, the love of reading and education,
(38:38):
and the support of family and the generosity of anonymous
donors did I become the physician.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
That I am today.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
So I'm the first and the only African American female
from Barnesville, Georgia to become a physician, and I left
there over twenty years ago. But during COVID as I
learned of this fact from Facebook a Facebook posts and
heard of other people that I didn't know about who
(39:07):
were successful and who were fellow Burnsville natives. I realized
that we have to come back, We have to come
full circle to provide hope for the kids coming after us,
to provide an example that they can strive for, and
to provide a helping hand. So we felt like we were
obligated to provide hope, which the hope stands for helping
(39:28):
our people excel. So The purpose of the gala was
to raise money for full Circle Hope scholarships for high
school seniors, for college, technical and trade school, and to
fund future events that enrich the lives of those in
Barnesville and the surrounding communities. We prayed that with our
(39:50):
assistance and that of our partners, that we might inspire
the next generation of leaders that will come back and
continue the circle of hope.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Absolutely little year story so inspirational, especially being a native
Georgia and myself, but all look, people just don't understand. Yes,
make it right, there is possibility. You just have to
believe that is true. Now, talk a little bit about
this gala. Now, it is the third year I has
(40:20):
the event had evolved since its inception and what impact
hasn't had on just the community so far?
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Well, over the past two years we were able to
through the gala, we were able to bless five seniors
with scholarships and also host a myriad of events to
benefit the community itself.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
This year, we hope.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
To do even more.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
So.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
We desire to bless not only our twenty twenty five
recipients and our past recipients hopefully with scholarships. We want
to be able to continue with our educational community efforts
things that's such as the annual book drives that we have,
the Little Library donation, and continuing to try to increase
financial literacy of the community, health education and more. In fact,
(41:07):
one big difference this past year, like through the generosity
of donors and our organization, we were able to expand
our Make a Wish Christmas event that we have every
year from just helping families giving families a helping hand
during Christmas, we were actually able to give nineteen local
rehab facility residents with gift boxes of hope as well
(41:29):
and give their children gifts for Christmas. So this is
it's changed in a way because this is the first
year that we've moved the event, the Gala, from Barnesville
to the metro Atlanta area. It's going to be held
at the Eagles Landing Country Club in Stockbridge this year.
So it's our prayer that others are choose to join
(41:49):
us at the Gala and continue to provide hope for
the kids with the scholarships and with the community events
that we sponsor.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
I love it, Love it. Now you talk just a
little bit briefly about the scholarships, but it is a
major focus of Full Circle of Hope. How does some
of the funds directly support just the underprivileged youth? And
also how does you or do you have any success
stories for you know, us to hear about to share
with us.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Yeah, So when the students after they apply and demonstrate
volunteer experience either with Full Circle of Hope or in
their communities and meet the other eligibility criteria for the scholarships,
the funds go directly to the students. The funds are
released once the students provide enrollment proof by submitting their
(42:40):
first semester Scheduler classes. And so we feel like by
giving the funds directly to the students, they're able to
use those funds to purchase textbooks and other essential needs
they may have for college. And we give it directly
to them because we and we've found we've heard from
our prior recipients that this has been a blessing because
(43:01):
it had we sent it directly to the school, they
would have just attracted it from their financial aid package.
But a lot of these kids don't have family that
can help with extra things that you might need when
you go off to school. So we are happy that
we're able to assist in that way.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Now, do you have any success stories you would like
to share?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Yes, we have some, but no one that's graduated yet
because we've only been doing the gala for this is
our third year doing the Gala, so most of the
students are still actively in school. That's and you know,
with a lot of the changes that's taken place within
our nation, and you know, and with aid being withdrawn
from a lot of kids and things, we want to
(43:47):
be able to reach back out to offer the kids
that we previously gave scholarships to, we want to be
able to give them additional aid if possible this year
as well, which is a change for us because we
were only giving it from high school going to college
or trade or technical school. But we're hoping, you know,
(44:08):
with the success of the Gala this year, that we'll
be able to expand our reach.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Got it, That makes sense, totally makes sense. But most importantly,
I just want to ask you how can we support
you know this mission, this is so impressive, and just
share with our listeners how they can donate or just
give back and be involved in full circle of hope.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Oh yes, So for anyone that's interested in supporting our mission,
please go to our website to full Circle of Hope
dot org to volunteer or to donate. You can also
sponsor the gala if that's your your desire by going
to give butter dot com backslash f C O H
(44:52):
five Gala. And once again that's give butter dot com
f C H to zero two five Gala.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
Love it, love and love it now. Look it's going
down a full twenty six. What can guess expect?
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Okay, well, this year, I guess can expect three hours
of fun, excellent food, dancing fellowship. Our host is the
Incomparable Classics one or two point nine FMS viceis Serrano,
and we're gonna have surprise guests and attendance as well.
There will also be several auctions available for purchase. In addition,
(45:31):
each VIP guest will receive a complimentary gift bag and
access to the VIP mixer that we're having prior to
the event, So they can go to our website on
full Circle of Hope dot org or they can go
directly to event bright and put Full Circle of Hope
Gala twenty twenty five in the search and they can
(45:53):
purchase their tickets that way as well.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
I love it. I love it, Doctor Long, Thank you
so much for chatting with me. It's been a You
have to come back and of course share some success
stories because I know there will be many, many, many
to come. But most importantly, before you go, is there
a special team you would like to shout out?
Speaker 3 (46:11):
Yes, I met my husband and I lived in Philadelphia
for about twenty years, so I still want to congratulate
the Philadelphia Eagles on their victory for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
I love it. Yes, thank you so much. Y'all, though
we know you're still a native, but we know that
you got to get those to your husband, so we
won't get you because you didn't say the Falcon and
I still no.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
I still love the Falcons as well. I just wanted
to give them a shout out for winning this past year.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
I love it. Thank you, Yes, thank you. That is
very important. Shout out to the Eagles, Jane Hurts, Yes,
very well. Thank you again for chatting with me. It's
been amazing and you are so awesome. Your story is
very inspirational too, by the way. Just inspiring the youth.
That's what it's all about. Thank you again, Thank you
(47:03):
so much for having me sports Lovely. It's twenty twenty five.
Newness continues to be all around. I have always said
(47:26):
I am the Queen of Elves taken, elf leck and right.
I swear if there was any such person, I am
she and she is not. But listen, in all fairness,
I can say the same about winning. Right. I've had
some major wins around my life, which has always been
(47:46):
my motivation to keep pushing for it. So if you
ever found yourself feeling like me, remember an l it's
just an honos shape w and it's all about your mindset, okay,
But most importantly, sometimes you have to just lose to
win in the game of life. Remember, dreams don't come
(48:08):
true until you do what you wake up and do
the work. That game will never be the second game.

NBA for just making gun like gestures doing two games
in early twenty twenty five now look early April, despite
receiving probably warning to stop, it continued on. This first
incident occurred on April first against the Golden State Warriors,
where Moran and Buddy Held exchanged the gestures, promptingly to
(15:40):
issue warnings. So, however, Moran was repeated that motion multiple
times doing April the third game against the Heat and
after hitting three pointers in the game and winning buzzer
beater of a one hundred and ten eight win, Yeah,
he still wants to continue on these gestures. Now, I
(16:02):

swallowing one million from Parson in a separate scheme, and

thing to do for me at the right time now.
Della Dine admitted that stepping away from the game has
been one of the hardest parts of her career, revealing

and then we spoke about it last sweep, but I
definitely wanted to just kind of reinforce positivity in the
w Now WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, she gave Caitlyn Clark
(25:01):
her flowers and of course this happened on US Today's
Sports seriously when she was a guest on there, and
she had plenty of prince for Caitlyn, And just beyond
just what she had said was just that, you know,
she has bring more eyes to the sports, which is
so so much of a topic all the way around
(25:23):
the w right good or bad. But most importantly in
discussing her, you know, affinity for watching the fevers, Leslie
had to say, I just appreciate the way she shows up.
She's a competitor, she's a trash tagger, she makes players
around her better, she's exciting to watch, and Leslie also
(25:45):
at it quite frankly. I miss seeing her, which is
sure to be a relatable to hoopheads all across the league. Now, look, guys,
I am always for uplifting others and uplifting women, is
what's it's all about. And you know what, we're going
to stay in that momentum because Cheryl swoops it. Of course,
(26:06):
the same thing you know that Cheryl has been notorious for,
you know, just parts of her opinion which is real respected.
Hello from the beginning. She was the one of the
players of the noaugural season for the w and Look
for a time WNBA champion and legend. Cheryl Sroop has
also has said, you know about the twenty three year old,
(26:30):
she said that you can tell how much stronger she
has gotten off season. You know, she was in that
gym working on her game. This Indiana Fever team has
put the pieces together this off season and I am
excited to see what they're going to do. See go on, Cheryl,
That's what I'm talking about, continuing the positivity all the
(26:51):
way around. Now, you know, I know, I know, I know.
I don't know. If you guys were watching the Unravel
season which has come to an end, it wrapped up
as inaugural season earlier this year, crowning Roles Basketball Club
as the first ever championships. However, the league was faced
with significant hurdles with quite a few player injuries, forcing
(27:11):
the team to kind of rely on reserve talents. Now
the w NBA seasons, of course, it's coming up. It's
fastly approaching. Training camps is going to be set in
late April. The quick turnaround has raised concerns for injured players,
some of whom we may not see this season, you know,
or even the starting season. While not every injury has
(27:31):
been publicly discussed or disclosed, several key players we need
to just kind of watch and look, they're going to
be undergoing some procedures or they're going to be in
recovery and this could impact developmental lea for the WNBA
opening weeks. Right. So among some of the notable injuries,
I'll say star Banna Stewart. She underwent a minor meniscus injury,
(27:56):
but she is expected to be ready for the start
of the wnbac he's in her teammate. But Nigia Lanley Hamilton,
former Atlanta Dream you know remember her, but she faced
a longer recovery after searching for a cute miniscus injury.
He's expected to be sidelined four five to six months now.
Other high profile players include Khaliah Cooper injuries and Aery
(28:19):
k angabab Walle. Now, of course Miss unravels championship games
due to various injuries, but specific details remain limited about
what's the updates with what's going on with them now?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
My god, oh no, she didn't, Oh no, she didn't.
Oh oh no, this.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Journey well, welcome back on com Back to spirits levelies,
my estimates, own g moment is upon us. It's going
to Antonio Brown, who was haulted an eighty thousand fundraiser
after Georgia father was charged with abandoning his kids. Now, listen, guys,
(31:11):
this is a serious copy. But you know, I just
want to kind of stay in the loop of what's
going on, and I want to get your opinions and
your thoughts and just let us know how you feel
about it now. Former NFL star Antonio Brown he had
offered or his offering refunds to donors after raising eighty
thousand dollars through a GoFundMe campaign intended to support Chris Lewis,
(31:35):
a Georgia father who was arrested for leaving his three
children ten, six and one an attended at McDonald's. The
Richmond County Sheriff's office, which is located in Augusta, Georgia,
reported that Lewis Fossilly, claimed he was attending a job
interview when he left his kids at the restaurant play
area on March twenty second. His ten year old daughter
(31:57):
told police he said that he's returning shortly, leaving her
in charge of her siblings. She later called their mother,
who arrived at the scene and contacted Lewis. You showed
up minutes later with the same backpack he left with,
claiming he had gone to a nearby hotel or an interview,
through hotel staff confirmed no interviews were scheduled. Now here's
(32:18):
the thing. You know, at first, I was feeling really sorry.
I was like, oh my goodness, this is so sad,
because again I'm a mom, and I understand, you know,
sometimes things happen and you want to, you know, go
to these job interviews or you can't find a babysitter
and whatever the calls may be. So I kind of,
you know, ad that double sided sword view, right, So
I kind of saw where this could be a problematic
(32:41):
first off, and second of all, I can also see
where you know, you can't do that. You know, this
world is so crazy, you know, kids be snatched up,
kids walking listen. Either way, it was a dangerous situation
to be in, very poor choice. Unfortunately, you know, it
led to or fortunately however we want to look at it,
whatever angle you want to look at it at. The
(33:04):
father was arrested. He was arrested for basically abandoning his children.
Yeah again, I did in a moment of you know, look,
you know he's a man, he's a father trying to
do right by his children. But it seems like this
story may not be as what we thought it was.
To hear that Antonio Brown was going to give you know,
(33:25):
some money for go find me was major. Okay, We've
had and we spoke about so many negative stories about
Antonio Brown. You know, I don't even want to start.
So go back now archives, go back and re listen
to what we had to say about Antonio Brown. But
in this time said I was like, okay, okay, okay,
I see where he's going. Although you know, from public opinion,
(33:46):
he received many, many, many negative comments like look, how
is he gonna raise money? Already struggling with his money coins,
blah blah blah. Look, we're not even going to get
into that because this is another neither here or there.
That's not a story are focusing on right now. We
wanted to focus on the positivity. So to hear and
see that Antonio has halted funds, yeah, I think that
(34:10):
was the best, you know, and I think to see
Antonio kind of take the initiative to try to help
a situation that seemed like, you know what, it could
have been anyone. You know, it could happen. You know,
things like that happened. But if it's not what as reported,
then yeah, this is my essmh you know what I'm saying.
(34:31):
I'm sitting here shaking my head like this is crazy.
How we need more information? But again, Lewis was a restident.
He was charged with the Mistermeter child endangerment. Brown, along
with other athletes, had initially supported the Lewis family through fundraising. However, again,
(34:51):
following the rest and questionable circumstances surrounding the incident, Brown
disabled to go fund me page and announced that the
donations will remain on hold. He is offering refunds to
those who contributed, and stated that the money will not
be released until he can ensure it will be used
for a worthy cause. Now what worthy cause? Again, we
(35:12):
don't know, you know, story still you know, pending. We
still wanting to know what this? What does that mean?
You know, I don't know. We shall see. But like
I said, guys, look, I can't be mad at Antonio
Brown for doing or trying to do the right thing,
because we've spoken so many stories that it just it
(35:32):
just would laugh. It just went left, all the way
off off the tracks, right, It's just gone. But to
see him try to help a situation where we thought
could be a situation that really could you know, benefit
a family and need. Look, I'm not mad at him,
I'm not mad at him at all. So yeah, this
(35:55):
is my smh Ong moment for the week. Be sure

(36:56):
We're serious about fighting for you. That's spooral for sixty

creator and president of Full Circle Hope Sports Slacklease. Please
welcome doctor Tanika Long too. Chicks in a Sports Got along? Welcome,
(37:19):
Welcome to Chicks in a Sports. Can you please just
tell us about just your inspiration behind the Full Circle
of h Ope Hope Gyala and how it all started?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Awesome Well, Nicky, The idea for this organization was actually
inspired by the great need that was obvious in the
town of Barnesville, Georgia. Approximately fifteen percent of the people
that live there live in poverty, and the household income
is directly proportional to the education level achieved by the parents.
(37:54):
My vision and the vision of the Full Circle of
Hopes Board was to bridge that gap and to attempt
to prevent like the vicious cycle of struggle and generation
at the generation of poverty from becoming a reality for
the kids that we could impact. I personally grew up
under those circumstances with several strikes against me according to
(38:16):
society standards, but which in reality only served to be
a source of strength for me. Like I'm an African
American female. I was born to a single teenage mom
in a small town in southern Georgia, and we lived
in the projects when we were there too. But only
by the grace of God, the love of reading and education,
(38:38):
and the support of family and the generosity of anonymous
donors did I become the physician.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
That I am today.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
So I'm the first and the only African American female
from Barnesville, Georgia to become a physician, and I left
there over twenty years ago. But during COVID as I
learned of this fact from Facebook a Facebook posts and
heard of other people that I didn't know about who
(39:07):
were successful and who were fellow Burnsville natives. I realized
that we have to come back, We have to come
full circle to provide hope for the kids coming after us,
to provide an example that they can strive for, and
to provide a helping hand. So we felt like we were
obligated to provide hope, which the hope stands for helping
(39:28):
our people excel. So The purpose of the gala was
to raise money for full Circle Hope scholarships for high
school seniors, for college, technical and trade school, and to
fund future events that enrich the lives of those in
Barnesville and the surrounding communities. We prayed that with our
(39:50):
assistance and that of our partners, that we might inspire
the next generation of leaders that will come back and
continue the circle of hope.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Absolutely little year story so inspirational, especially being a native
Georgia and myself, but all look, people just don't understand. Yes,
make it right, there is possibility. You just have to
believe that is true. Now, talk a little bit about
this gala. Now, it is the third year I has
(40:20):
the event had evolved since its inception and what impact
hasn't had on just the community so far?
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Well, over the past two years we were able to
through the gala, we were able to bless five seniors
with scholarships and also host a myriad of events to
benefit the community itself.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
This year, we hope.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
To do even more.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
So.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
We desire to bless not only our twenty twenty five
recipients and our past recipients hopefully with scholarships. We want
to be able to continue with our educational community efforts
things that's such as the annual book drives that we have,
the Little Library donation, and continuing to try to increase
financial literacy of the community, health education and more. In fact,
(41:07):
one big difference this past year, like through the generosity
of donors and our organization, we were able to expand
our Make a Wish Christmas event that we have every
year from just helping families giving families a helping hand
during Christmas, we were actually able to give nineteen local
rehab facility residents with gift boxes of hope as well
(41:29):
and give their children gifts for Christmas. So this is
it's changed in a way because this is the first
year that we've moved the event, the Gala, from Barnesville
to the metro Atlanta area. It's going to be held
at the Eagles Landing Country Club in Stockbridge this year.
So it's our prayer that others are choose to join
(41:49):
us at the Gala and continue to provide hope for
the kids with the scholarships and with the community events
that we sponsor.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
I love it, Love it. Now you talk just a
little bit briefly about the scholarships, but it is a
major focus of Full Circle of Hope. How does some
of the funds directly support just the underprivileged youth? And
also how does you or do you have any success
stories for you know, us to hear about to share
with us.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Yeah, So when the students after they apply and demonstrate
volunteer experience either with Full Circle of Hope or in
their communities and meet the other eligibility criteria for the scholarships,
the funds go directly to the students. The funds are
released once the students provide enrollment proof by submitting their
(42:40):
first semester Scheduler classes. And so we feel like by
giving the funds directly to the students, they're able to
use those funds to purchase textbooks and other essential needs
they may have for college. And we give it directly
to them because we and we've found we've heard from
our prior recipients that this has been a blessing because
(43:01):
it had we sent it directly to the school, they
would have just attracted it from their financial aid package.
But a lot of these kids don't have family that
can help with extra things that you might need when
you go off to school. So we are happy that
we're able to assist in that way.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Now, do you have any success stories you would like
to share?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Yes, we have some, but no one that's graduated yet
because we've only been doing the gala for this is
our third year doing the Gala, so most of the
students are still actively in school. That's and you know,
with a lot of the changes that's taken place within
our nation, and you know, and with aid being withdrawn
from a lot of kids and things, we want to
(43:47):
be able to reach back out to offer the kids
that we previously gave scholarships to, we want to be
able to give them additional aid if possible this year
as well, which is a change for us because we
were only giving it from high school going to college
or trade or technical school. But we're hoping, you know,
(44:08):
with the success of the Gala this year, that we'll
be able to expand our reach.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Got it, That makes sense, totally makes sense. But most importantly,
I just want to ask you how can we support
you know this mission, this is so impressive, and just
share with our listeners how they can donate or just
give back and be involved in full circle of hope.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Oh yes, So for anyone that's interested in supporting our mission,
please go to our website to full Circle of Hope
dot org to volunteer or to donate. You can also
sponsor the gala if that's your your desire by going
to give butter dot com backslash f C O H
(44:52):
five Gala. And once again that's give butter dot com
f C H to zero two five Gala.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
Love it, love and love it now. Look it's going
down a full twenty six. What can guess expect?
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Okay, well, this year, I guess can expect three hours
of fun, excellent food, dancing fellowship. Our host is the
Incomparable Classics one or two point nine FMS viceis Serrano,
and we're gonna have surprise guests and attendance as well.
There will also be several auctions available for purchase. In addition,
(45:31):
each VIP guest will receive a complimentary gift bag and
access to the VIP mixer that we're having prior to
the event, So they can go to our website on
full Circle of Hope dot org or they can go
directly to event bright and put Full Circle of Hope
Gala twenty twenty five in the search and they can
(45:53):
purchase their tickets that way as well.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
I love it. I love it, Doctor Long, Thank you
so much for chatting with me. It's been a You
have to come back and of course share some success
stories because I know there will be many, many, many
to come. But most importantly, before you go, is there
a special team you would like to shout out?
Speaker 3 (46:11):
Yes, I met my husband and I lived in Philadelphia
for about twenty years, so I still want to congratulate
the Philadelphia Eagles on their victory for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
I love it. Yes, thank you so much. Y'all, though
we know you're still a native, but we know that
you got to get those to your husband, so we
won't get you because you didn't say the Falcon and
I still no.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
I still love the Falcons as well. I just wanted
to give them a shout out for winning this past year.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
I love it. Thank you, Yes, thank you. That is
very important. Shout out to the Eagles, Jane Hurts, Yes,
very well. Thank you again for chatting with me. It's
been amazing and you are so awesome. Your story is
very inspirational too, by the way. Just inspiring the youth.
That's what it's all about. Thank you again, Thank you
(47:03):
so much for having me sports Lovely. It's twenty twenty five.
Newness continues to be all around. I have always said
(47:26):
I am the Queen of Elves taken, elf leck and right.
I swear if there was any such person, I am
she and she is not. But listen, in all fairness,
I can say the same about winning. Right. I've had
some major wins around my life, which has always been
(47:46):
my motivation to keep pushing for it. So if you
ever found yourself feeling like me, remember an l it's
just an honos shape w and it's all about your mindset, okay,

the work. That game will never be the second game.
